    "Makeup is a science" Yes, it is. Whether you are doing involved looks that require wax/latex prosthetics or every day beauty looks. Kryolan makeup is NOT tested on animals. Love it! Don't worry, I'm not going to get preachy. I will however draw attention to my personal preference of cosmetics and beauty products that aren't unnecessarily tested on animals. There are so many great brands out there. Kryolan is quickly becoming my favorite. Why Kryolan? Well, a long time ago, I thought MAC was professional makeup. I thought that brand was going to give me the look I wanted when I do the faces I do for special events, nights out on the town, Halloween, and every day. MAC (Estee Lauder) isn't for me. Kryolan? Yasssssssssss!! The waterproof finishing powder locks my look in whether I am sweating from dancing or the weather is humid. The tv stick foundation covers my freckles and dark circles in a flash. The camouflage is great for stubborn dark circles and dots. The dual finish powder (can be used wet or dry) is another setting powder or I use it on those casual weekend days I throw my hair up in a bun and lounge around with a "no-makeup" makeup look. My daughters and I have an obscene collection of eye shadows, blushes, and lipsticks from Sephora and Ulta so I didn't spend a lot of time on those. If you have never had professional makeup - look at their palettes. They rival my Viseart palettes. Once I hit pan on those I plan to replenish with palettes from Kryolan. They offer pre-assembled and custom options. The ladies assisting me were friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and they didn't pressure me to buy anything. They were happy to help me find the appropriate color foundation (tricky for me being half Asian and Half Black with muted yellow undertone) I feel really good about the purchases I made for me and my daughters. I'm not going to talk about their products because that would be dishonest. I don't use the things they purchased. I know I love what I bought. I know my younger daughter loved what she used for her prom makeup. I know my older daughter is having so much fun with what she bought. I want to go back and get leg foundation, the glittery stuff that lasts even when you are under water, and the liquid that will transform any eyeshadow or pigment into eyeliner (older daughter has that) They offer classes and sell a lot more products than I mentioned. Ah! The prices are affordable for the amount of product you get and the product is truly quality. No packaging hype, no fragrances to irritate sensitive skin - just real makeup. They offer a variety of classes and they can also do your makeup for an event or photo shoot. Ask about that when you are in the store! I regret not checking in. I missed out on the 15% off any purchase of $50 or more for both of my trips here. Of course I spent more than $50. We've all seen how much I love makeup! Kryolan is my go-to for my base. If it's good enough for models, stage performers, drag queens, mermaids, and every day women who just want a finished, lasts all all day look without having to lug makeup around with them - it's good enough for me! Psst - they do NOT test on animals so yeah for me? It's love! Park on the street but mind the meter! Metee maids are like locusts in that area. THEY ARE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC so please do not be deterred by the gate. Just ring the bell and they will buzz you right in! Go. Browse. Ask questions. Buy stuff. Play. You create and define beauty however you choose. Beauty is everywhere. It's in all of us.

    Fake lashes and fuschia cream blush
    Janice C.

    Kryolan came highly recommended from our makeup artist for the Carnaval parade. This place is amazing! Brightly lit, clean surfaces and organized displays. I'm really intimidated when I go to places like this since most of my makeup comes from target! ;) Jordan was so great with helping me choose a color palette (fuschia!) for Carnaval. I purchased fake eyelashes, lash glue, cheek paint and a bright lipstick. I thought it would've cost me $50 for all these items (ahem, Sephora!) but my total was only $34. They have specialty makeup too so keep them in mind for Halloween. Easy parking since there are a lot of parking meters on 9th street. Just be aware that the neighborhood is sketchy because you need to ring the buzzer before you can enter the store! Well worth the trip though.

    I had a makeover here by Joel for the Edwardian Ball and was SO thrilled with the results! A fantastic experience! I can't wait for my next excuse to come here for a makeup application :-)

    My $25 haul during the annual bag sale
    Heather S.

    I'm officially a sucker for Kryolan. Ever since our first meeting, things haven't been the same. I daydream about the next time we'll meet again. So I went to the annual bag sale and picked up a whole bunch of goodies for only $25. Man I couldn't believe all the stuff that I got, I uploaded a pic of the goodies. I even dragged my sister along this time. Well, didnt really have to drag her along, ever since I showed her what I got the first time, the broad decided to "borrow" my aqua colors till she got her own. She was kind of bummed that she didn't get to see all the regular stuff that they sell since that bag sale was going on. To her delight, they told her that the studio would be back to normal after 1:30pm. So we decided to kill a few hours at the mall and returned for a second visit in the same day. Got the 8 eye shadow palette. Ive been using it all week long, and the color payoff is amazing. Oh Kryolan, I wait for the day when our paths will cross again.

    They said they close at 7 so we left and came back it's 6:30 and they are closed

    This is my most favorite makeup line in the world. At first I thought they were only located over seas and I am blessed to have one here in San Francisco. Joseph was amazing. He was super helpful and he made some amazing recommendations for my color. Kryolan, hands down is one of the best in the world

    Absolute BEST service ever!!!
    Victoria B.

    AMAZING Experience!!! I work as a makeup artist/stylist in the New Orleans area and I'm a huge fan of Kryolan. I went to San Fran to check out the store, and get some things I can't get at home. I must say, I'm overly impressed with it!! Siai was incredibly wonderful, and made both mine, and my dads experience one that we will never forget. I was so excited and overjoyed to be in what I call "Mecca" and she joined me in my excitement. Siai was warm, welcoming, knowledgable, sincere, and an absolute joy to interact with! Not only are the products amazing, the staff is as well. She is truly an asset to Kryolan!!! Thank you so much Siai! You made our day one to remember, and I WILL be back to visit not only the store, but you as well!!! Xoxo- Tori

You'll find currently trendy products like snail secretion skin care, hair curlers, bb cream, cc cream, etc. Most of the beauty products (skin care, cosmetics) are from Korea, from brands like Etude House, Toly Moly, and Skinfood. They can also pre-order items from those lines. The Milk Talk body lotion smells like milkshakes. Expect to find really cute packaging but not a lot of English on the packaging. There are testers of most of the beauty products. The shop is tiny but crammed full of clothes, lingerie, stockings, shoes, scarves, purses, jewelry, iPhone accessories and makeup. Not everything has a price but the things that had prices were very reasonably priced. The clothes and accessories are in the $20-$30 range. Some of it was cute - especially if you are a girly girl who likes bows, ribbons, ruffles, lace and faux fur (e.g., faux fur bras). However the material is predominantly synthetic. I couldn't figure out the sizes of some items. The shoes all look small, size 6 small. The skirts are super short. They have iPhone bumpers with Hello Kitty bows, iPhone cases that look like Dior nailpolish bottles I received a free sample and very courteous service. My picks: * Baby Milo iPhone screen protectors for iPhone 5 ($10) * Hello Kitty bow style iPhone bumpers for iPhone 4 * Etude House strawberry lip cream ($6, smells wonderful) * Pocket bunny moist mist - love the bunny packaging

    "Beauty is skin deep"…read more Japan and Korea are the leaders in innovative skincare so it makes sense that many women gravitate to Asian brands. Longtime Japanese luxury brand Shiseido has been creating well loved skincare and cosmetics since 1872. I ran out of eye cream so I tried some at a Korean brand shop that I like. It was fine, but not what I am used to. I am accustomed to skincare that my skin quickly "drinks" opposed to feeling waxy on the surface of my skin. If I have to pat the product for absorption over an extended period of time - it isn't worth it. I was walking out of the Japantown "mall" to get fresh mochi across the street when I saw the awning to this shop with Shiseido products prominently displayed in the window. I asked for eye cream. I was shown their options. I used one option she showed me for a year until it was empty (thats why I was there). I tried different products I was curious about as well. 10 minutes in the shop and I was out of there! The ladies who assisted me were professional, courteous, and helpful with answering my questions. I didn't feel pressured to try or buy anything more than what I wanted. This shop sells another brand - but I wasn't interested. My sensitive skin loves the eye cream. The jar is enough to last about half a year - so consider that along with the effectiveness and voila - it was a great deal! I am thankful for my fuss free purchase. I will return when my balancing elixir runs out.
